There you have done a really good job. The composition is really great and has the striking tones over the subject matters. I feel the qualities in your art skills.

    Thank you so much for your great review. Yes, it does need varnishing but had to wait about six months before that can be done.

Good painting i like how the colors work with your emotions, and the waves are blue, and the farther out water is bluer, and it looks real . i like this. 5 stars

I never rate anything other than photos, but living at the beach in NSW, I was so drawn to this painting! I am absolutely in awe of your excellent interpretation of the sea. I know water is the most difficult thing to paint and you have managed to bring it to life here. Not only giving the water a magical quality, but also capturing the movement of the tide. Excellent! (A friend of mine is one of Australia's top contemporary artists, and specialises in beach scenes - you might be interested to view his work www.nealejoseph.com. Beautiful Suzanne!

This is a stunning work of art the way you have done it. The coloring is just beautiful. I like the way you have the waves in the water and the way you can see them turning. The detail in the water and the way you have used the same colors throughout the painting are excellent. A beautiful work of art.

I love this beach scene the first thing I noticed is your lovely colors. The blues, purple tones. So well blended. I love the rainbow of colors in the surf throughout and especially the shoreline. This is so joyful and beautiful great work. If I had a 6 you would have it for this one.

This is a very beautiful piece.
Love the colours and the simpleness of it as a whole. You did the waves wonderfuly that they really look to be rolling in. Must have been a great place to paint. Great work.
